16
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.760
Yes, After Shocks start of your new tour. What a

17
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.400
great way to start off the tour.

18
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.200
This is a very good way to start it, and

19
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.280
it is it is.

20
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.000
Have you played After Shock before I came?

21
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.799
I have one time. I did one time. Yep.

22
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.959
It's pretty a couple of years ago to play at right.

23
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:23.879
It was awesome.

24
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.959
Yeah, we played like a big, bigger stage, bigger stage

25
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:31.000
last time, but today was actually much better than it

26
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.879
was last time. And it was a smaller stage and

27
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.480
an earlier time slot and it fucking crushed.

28
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.159
It was amazing.

29
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.560
What made it better just the energy the people I

30
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.239
don't know like because it's early and it's the first day,

31
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:43.319
you know, I don't.

32
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.079
Know, people just want to fucking get right to it.

33
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.920
I don't know. Maybe they like me, I don't know.

34
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:47.799
It was it was just great.

35
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:48.159
I don't know.

36
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.599
It blows your mind too, when you're like Thursday, first

37
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.560
day early and you have that kind of crowd.

38
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.200
Yeah, it was a huge, massive crowd.

39
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.879
Everyone was super People are mashing, people were washing in

40
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.439
between songs, I.

41
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:00.400
Know, music playing.

42
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.920
I love that.

43
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.959
I was like, wow, you guys are fucking crazy.

44
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.760
See if I was up there, I would just stand

45
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.239
there and just watch them for a little while, you know,

46
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:07.920
Like yeah.

47
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.719
And people do that too.

48
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.319
People do that too, people gow, you know, gock at

49
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:12.120
the sword or whatever.

50
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.479
But yeah, there you go. So what else you got

51
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.159
new going on? That we want the listeners?

52
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.879
I mean, I'm honestly just so focused on just crushing

53
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.280
this first headline tour, never done one. Want to get

54
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.360
it right, want to put on a good show for

55
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.120
my real fans, you know, for the first time. And

56
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:28.759
it's also just the first time that I've been able

57
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.039
to like be in control of the whole show, the openers,

58
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.439
the house music being played in between, like just just

59
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.599
curate the whole experience, you know, and just make it

60
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.960
as good as I can make it, obviously, when you're

61
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.199
I've done amazing tours and I've done I just got

62
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.000
off the run with Falling into Verse, which was awesome, huge,

63
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.680
massive venues, massive shows, good hangs, everybody was awesome.

64
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.319
Nice.

65
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.240
But I'm the first one going. I only play thirty

66
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.080
minute set this whole thing. So this is it's going

67
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.800
to be so different than anything I've done, just actually

68
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.479
doing a headline tour, you know, And I'm.

69
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.639
That must feel great too, to make your own decision,

70
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.960
because it's hard. I think people don't realize when you're

71
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.280
the undercard artist, you can't really put on the show

72
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:12.840
you want to.

73
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.520
Yeah, yeah you can do you know.

74
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.080
I try to do as much as I can obviously,

75
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.120
but yeah, you're there.

76
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.680
You're there to do a job, you know exactly. It's

77
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.560
the headliner show.

78
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.719
They run the show, they make the decisions, and you're

79
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.719
there to get the crowd warmed up, make everybody feel good,

80
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.520
put on the best show you can. And that's It's

81
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.000
just a job, is what it is at the end

82
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.879
of the day. But when it's your own headline show,

83
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.599
you can do whatever the fuck you want, and that's

84
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:35.560
what I plan on doing.

85
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.960
So I think it's gonna be great.

86
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.759
And because you are so creative, and that's part of

87
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.439
what gets taken away when you're not a headliner, that creativity.

88
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.840
Yeah, because you just have less option less, you know,

89
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.919
less control over doing weird. You know, I could spend

90
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.400
fucking I can pull people up on stage and night them,

91
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.599
I can do whatever. You know, you can do whatever

92
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.000
you want when you're the headliner. Where you're not the headliner,

93
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:58.400
you just gotta go play your music.

94
00:03:58.439 --> 00:03:59.639
And you know, that's what it is.

95
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:00.439
So very cool.

96
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.520
And so what other things you have in store for

97
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.159
your headline tour that people why they should go your

98
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:07.639
live show.

99
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.840
There's a few bits I have planned that I won't spoil.

100
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.280
Of course, some get in between the song shit. I mean,

101
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.160
I really just want to go celebrate an album that

102
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.680
just came out that I'm very proud of, which is Dragonborn,

103
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.720
and celebrate.

104
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.399
That with people who love the music.

105
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.920
Because that's when you also, when you're not playing your

106
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.839
headline show, Yeah you're gonna have fan show up and

107
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.480
yeah people are me be saying everything. But when you're

108
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.879
doing a headline when you're doing a headline tour. That's

109
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.720
like the true celebration between you and the fans of

110
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.600
the music that you've created, because you get a few

111
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.600
hundred people in a room and you guys get to

112
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.879
celebrate this thing that means a lot to me and

113
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.199
hopefully means a lot to them.

114
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.439
Yeah, And it's just it just becomes much more beautiful,

115
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.519
you know. And when everybody's there for the same reason.

116
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.319
Yea, and it's your crowd, like they're coming there for

117
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.279
you specifically.

118
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.160
Correct hopefully, yeah's hopefully up.

119
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.360
All right, So tell everybody how they can hit you

120
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.879
up on socials on the web.

121
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.279
Jerish Johnson on everything at Jerishohnson dot com. All the

122
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.399
links are readily available everywhere. It's pretty easy. I have

123
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.240
a very googleable name, so it's not too hard to find.

124
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.680
And do you have a favorite piece of merch that

125
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:19.560
people should buy.

126
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.639
Honestly, the tour shirt goes pretty damn hard. The tour

127
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.439
shirt is great. The poster is really good. I'm proud

128
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:32.240
of the poster. Yeah, the VIP meet and greats those

129
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:32.800
are awesome.

130
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.040
They're selling well. I'm excited to meet people. I mean,

131
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.040
obviously I've met people.

132
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.920
You know, just at the other if I'm able, if

133
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.800
the shows are small enough and I'm not the headliner,

134
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.439
I can usually go out to the merch booth and

135
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.199
take pictures with everybody. Obviously, being the headliner you kind

136
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.800
of have to do the VIP meet and great thing.

137
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.319
But I'm excited to just hang out with everybody, take pictures,

138
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.879
you know, meet the ones that are the most into

139
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.079
as into it as I am.

140
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:54.399
You know.

141
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.360
That's like, it's so cool, so fun to meet people

142
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.240
that it only becomes real, like a sure number on

143
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:00.959
the internet or good.

144
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.839
Yeah, whatever. I have two million.

145
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.560
Monthly listeners on Spotify and two million followers on this

146
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.879
and blah blah blah whatever. Like numbers on the internet

147
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.920
are good, but it doesn't really get real until you

148
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.240
actually meet people and you hear them say this song,

149
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.199
and you know, that's when it actually means something. So yeah,

150
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.519
that's my favorite part is just meeting people and getting

151
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.040
to realize that the music actually is real and it's

152
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.480
a real thing that people listen to and sing and

153
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.279
enjoy whatever.

154
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.040
You know, what's your favorite thing somebody has said to you?

155
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.480
Sorry? Were what was your favorite.

156
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.879
Thing somebody has said to you? Oh?

157
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.959
God, I've definitely had some really good interactions. Nothing comes

158
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.480
to mind immediately, of course, you have all kinds of

159
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.560
interactions when you're I mean, I really like when there's

160
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.040
like little you know, when parents bring their.

161
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.639
Little kids, yeah, and the kids make signs.

162
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.759
And because I remember going to shows when I was younger,

163
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.439
like with my dad, and if I got to meet

164
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.720
somebody or take a picture of somebody, it was like,

165
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.879
so I would just I would never forget it. I'd

166
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.519
never forgot all the times I had those interactions. So

167
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.920
it's cool to imagine that, like life has come full

168
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.600
circle to the point where where I am now able

169
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.000
to give that kind of interaction to like parent and

170
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.000
their ten year old you know, son or daughter who's

171
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.079
there at the show with them. It's just cool, man,

172
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.680
it just feels very like full circle.

173
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.040
Well, you're definitely a true artist change in the face

174
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:15.720
of rock and roll.

175
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:16.000
